This time last week, I was packing for a little holiday vacation and trying to come up with the perfect outfit for spending the first half of the day in airports and planes, and the second half of the day eating and recovering from Thanksgiving dinner.

Not to toot my own horn, but I succeeded better than anyone has ever succeeded at a Thanksgiving/airport outfit in the history of the universe. It might not look mind-blowing in these photos, but it looked really cute in person, AND it included a big cozy scarf and an elastic waist. See? The ultimate holiday travel outfit. Take notes for later this month.

After wearing these pants 3 times in just over a week, I decided to order them in another color. With heels and a more structured top, they totally work for the office too. Just a note if you order a pair for yourself: they run pretty big. I’m wearing a 00, a size at which my hips normally laugh hysterically. I think they actually laughed as I was putting them on, but they quickly shut up when they saw how awesome I looked. Maybe these pants are supposed to be worn lower on your hips, but I wanted them to hit just below the waist because that’s more flattering on me. So if that’s your plan too, size down. Then proceed to eat a very large meal in comfort.
